I read Destroy All Cars, by Blake Nelson, today. Loved it. I want all three main characters from YA MS the First to hang out with his James Hoff. I think they'd have a lot to talk about. Of course, James would very likely be put off a little by their potty mouths. But I think he'd get over it.
Anyway, great book, especially for that Green Party friend of yours.

I was born and raised in and around New York City, and I lived in the tri-state area for over thirty years. But I met and fell for a shiksa, and my exile began in earnest in March of 2006. Now we live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with our son and daughter.

Blake is the bestest. I got to read with him in NYC once, and then we were both in Cannes when Paranoid Park was up against Noah's Tehilim in competition, and then he was loverly enough to blurb SPR. I am v. v. v. V. excited to read his next book, especially what with your endorsement.

DAC was sooooo great. I'm with you. Blake is amazing.
